Liver test shows improvement

My older chi mix has a functioning liver but doc says there are signs not so great. He suggested Sam e. It's been about 3 months and she had another blood panel done. Much better! She also seems cheerier.

The hardest thing is getting it down here. It has to be done on an empty stomach. Joy. Tried pumpkin coating and that worked about 1 week, then she learned to lick it off. It is a hard but small tablet. She does 1/2 of a 200 mg. Now I found a way make like a little meatball and that's usually working.

Actually Karla the butter is not best idea, something different. It would work bug the oily nature of butter would not work with absorption. Treat like iron. Here is something I learned.

Treat sam-e like iron. Iron is absorbed the best on an empty stomach. But if you must add a little food to get it ingested, do not use milk, butter, calcium and antacids at the same time as iron supplements. You should wait at least 2 hours after having these foods before taking your iron supplements.

One of the best things I ever did was to start taking sam e and I mean that 100%. I think, guess, that many people taking anti depressants would be better of with sam e. Changed my life and after a couple years I stopped and never needed it again.
